Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
