Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important representative commented the incident made him speechless and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
