Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important political figure commented the vandalism left him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
