Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then located many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
