Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Police then located numerous other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the incident left him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
