Local Police
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then located many other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests show the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important official said the attack rendered him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
