Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.
An important official said the vandalism left him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
