Local Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior political figure stated the incident left him without words and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
