Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered many other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
