Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
An important political figure stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
