Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important political figure stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of migrant background in February 2020.
