Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found many other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior representative said the attack rendered him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
