Area Police
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
