Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered many other marked cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior official stated the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
