Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
