Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
