Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior representative said the incident left him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
