Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important political figure said the vandalism left him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
