Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior official stated the vandalism made him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
