Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important official stated the attack made him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
