Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior political figure said the attack left him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
