Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A senior political figure stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
