Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important political figure commented the attack left him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he stated on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
