Local Police
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important political figure commented the vandalism made him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
