Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
