Local Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking official said the vandalism left him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
