Area Police
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the incident made him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
