Area Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
