Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
