Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
