Area Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police report initial examinations show the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important official commented the incident rendered him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
