Area Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack made him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
