Area Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior representative said the attack rendered him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in February 2020.
