Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism left him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
