Area Law Enforcement

Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.

Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.

The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.

Law enforcement then located multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.

These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.

Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human blood.

"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.

City officials stated they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.

An important political figure said the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be solved quickly.

"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
