Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the fluid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior official stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
