Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
