Area Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
