Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
An important representative said the attack made him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
