Authorities stated they were alerted by a individual who discovered a vehicle in Hanau marked with red-colored liquid

Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.

Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.

The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.

Police then located numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.

Police state initial examinations show the fluid was likely blood from a person.

"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.

Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.

An important political figure commented the vandalism made him speechless and required to be addressed promptly.

"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
