Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; officials are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
An important official stated the attack rendered him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
