Local Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then located numerous other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack rendered him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
