Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
