Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
