Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the liquid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in 2020.
