Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism left him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
