Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior official said the vandalism made him without words and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
