Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests show the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking official said the attack made him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
