Area Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis show the substance was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
An important official commented the incident made him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
