Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered many other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
