Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
An important political figure stated the vandalism made him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
