Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior representative said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
