Local Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
