Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important representative stated the vandalism left him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
