Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the substance was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important representative said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
