Area Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located many other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior political figure stated the incident rendered him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
