Around 50 vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis show the substance was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important representative commented the vandalism made him stunned and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
