Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important representative commented the incident made him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
