Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are currently not informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking official stated the attack rendered him without words and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
