Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the event," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior representative said the vandalism made him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
