Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations show the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for details.
A senior representative commented the incident left him without words and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
