Area Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then located numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
