Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important representative commented the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
