Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important representative said the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
