Area Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
