Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior official commented the attack made him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
