Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative stated the incident rendered him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
