Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important representative stated the attack rendered him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of migrant background in 2020.
