Local Police
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found many other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations show the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack rendered him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
