Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official said the attack rendered him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
