Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for details.
An important political figure said the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
