Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior official said the incident rendered him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
