Around fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are not yet aware of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important representative commented the attack rendered him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
