Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative stated the attack made him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
