Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important political figure said the incident left him speechless and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
