Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
An important political figure said the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
