Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
