Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the incident made him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
