Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior representative stated the attack rendered him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
