Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
