Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important official commented the vandalism made him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
