Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.
A senior representative stated the incident rendered him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
