Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior political figure said the incident made him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
