Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
