Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior political figure stated the incident made him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
