Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered many other smeared cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important official commented the incident left him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
