Area Police
Around 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important representative stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
