Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking official commented the attack left him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
