Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
An important representative stated the attack left him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
