Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack left him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
