Local Law Enforcement

Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.

Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.

The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.

Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.

"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.

Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for tips.

An important representative stated the vandalism left him stunned and had to be solved quickly.

"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in five years prior.
