Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important representative commented the vandalism made him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
