Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important political figure stated the attack made him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in 2020.
