Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state early analysis suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important political figure commented the vandalism made him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in 2020.
