Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative said the attack left him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
