Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure commented the attack left him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
