Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking official said the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
