Area Law Enforcement

Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.

Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.

Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.

The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.

Officers then discovered many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.

These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement state early analysis show the substance was likely blood from a person.

"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added.

Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for details.

A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him speechless and required to be solved quickly.

"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
