Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack left him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
