Local Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A senior representative commented the attack rendered him speechless and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
