Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations show the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important political figure commented the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
