Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found numerous other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative commented the incident made him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
