Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important official commented the vandalism left him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
