Area Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking official commented the attack made him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
