Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking official stated the attack left him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
