Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior representative commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
