Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located many other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior official commented the incident made him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
