Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
An important political figure said the vandalism made him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
