Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure said the incident rendered him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
