Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important official said the attack rendered him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
