Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official stated the incident left him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
