Area Police
Around fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any harm in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior political figure said the incident made him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
