Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important official said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
