Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior political figure stated the incident left him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
