Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found many other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior representative stated the incident rendered him without words and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
