Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
A senior official stated the attack made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
