Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
An important representative said the attack left him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
