Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official stated the attack made him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
