Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important political figure stated the attack rendered him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
