Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
