Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior official commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
