Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior representative stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
