Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Police report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis show the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism made him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
