Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered many other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack rendered him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
