Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.
An important official stated the attack made him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
