Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
An important representative said the vandalism left him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
