Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important representative stated the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
