Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important representative said the incident left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
