Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack made him without words and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
