Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the liquid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism made him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
