Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the vandalism left him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
