Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior representative said the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
