Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for information.
An important representative commented the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
