Local Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior political figure said the incident left him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
