Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important political figure said the attack made him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
