Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
