Area Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior representative commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
