Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important political figure stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
