Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official said the incident rendered him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
