Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior political figure said the attack left him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
