Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered many other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
An important official said the attack made him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
