Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
An important political figure stated the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
