Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking official said the incident left him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
