Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then located multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure said the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in 2020.
