Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior official said the incident made him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
