Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Police then located many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important political figure commented the attack rendered him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
