Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Police then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state early analysis indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident rendered him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
