Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident made him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
