Area Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations show the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official said the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
