Around fifty cars have been marked 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 postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative stated the incident made him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
