Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the substance was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior official commented the incident rendered him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
