Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
