Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
