Area Police
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then located many other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior political figure said the attack rendered him without words and had to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
