Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
