Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
