Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important representative said the attack left him speechless and had to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
