Area Police
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located many other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack left him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
