Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior representative stated the attack left him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
