Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack left him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
