Local Police
Around 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior representative said the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
