Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior political figure stated the incident left him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
