Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism left him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
