Around fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered many other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.
An important political figure stated the incident left him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
