Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
An important official said the incident left him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
