Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking official commented the attack made him speechless and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
