Local Police
Approximately 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking official said the attack left him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
