Area Police
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official stated the attack made him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
