Local Police
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important political figure stated the attack rendered him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
