Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
An important political figure stated the vandalism made him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
