Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
An important official commented the vandalism left him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
