Area Police
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the incident rendered him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
