Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior official commented the incident made him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
