Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior official stated the attack left him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
