Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack made him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
