Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
