Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located many other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior representative commented the incident left him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
