Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking official stated the attack made him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
