Local Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found many other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; officials are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior official commented the vandalism left him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
