Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior representative said the incident rendered him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
