Area Police
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior political figure stated the attack made him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
