Local Police
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then located numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
An important representative stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
