Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
