Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important official stated the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
