Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack rendered him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
