Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking official said the incident rendered him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
