Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
A senior political figure commented the incident left him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
