Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure said the incident made him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in 2020.
