Area Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior official stated the vandalism left him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
