Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
An important representative stated the attack left him stunned and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
