Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior representative said the vandalism left him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
