Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important official commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
