Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior official said the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
