Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
An important official stated the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
