Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
