Area Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
