Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
