Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
