Local Police
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important official commented the vandalism left him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
