Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for details.
An important official commented the vandalism made him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
