Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior political figure stated the attack left him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
