Area Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important political figure commented the vandalism left him stunned and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
