Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations show the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important political figure stated the incident left him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at residents of migrant background in 2020.
