Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
