Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
