Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior representative said the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
