Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior representative stated the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
