Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important official commented the incident left him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
