Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important representative stated the attack left him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
