Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important official stated the incident made him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
