Area Police
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior official commented the attack made him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
