Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then located many other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important official stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
