Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack left him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
