Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
An important representative commented the incident left him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
