Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found multiple other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
