Local Police
Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
