Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior official said the incident rendered him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
