Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for information.
A senior political figure commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
