Roughly 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
