Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
An important official said the vandalism made him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
