Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
