Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests show the fluid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important representative said the vandalism left him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
