Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis indicate the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior official said the vandalism left him without words and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
