Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests show the substance was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
An important official commented the attack made him without words and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This act 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 murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
