Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the substance was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important official stated the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
