Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
