Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
