Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important representative stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
