Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then found numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
An important representative stated the vandalism made him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
