Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis indicate the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in association with the event," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking official stated the attack made him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
