Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important representative commented the attack rendered him speechless and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
