Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
