Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations show the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials said they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important representative said the incident made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
