Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Police then located multiple other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important representative stated the attack left him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
