Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for information.
A senior political figure stated the incident made him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
