Area Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior political figure commented the incident made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
