Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.
City officials said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important political figure stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
