Local Law Enforcement

Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.

Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.

Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.

The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.

Police then discovered many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human blood.

"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.

Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.

An important official commented the incident made him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.

"This event hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
