Area Police
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him stunned and had to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
