Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior political figure commented the incident left him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
