Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure stated the attack made him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
