Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
