Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis show the substance was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure commented the incident made him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
