Local Law Enforcement

Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.

Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.

Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.

The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they reported.

Law enforcement then found numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.

Officials report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human blood.

"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.

Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.

An important official stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.

"This incident hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
