Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior representative stated the vandalism made him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
