Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior representative said the incident left him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
