Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located many other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A senior political figure said the attack left him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
