Area Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
