Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior official stated the attack made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
