Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
An important political figure said the vandalism made him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
