Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state early analysis indicate the substance was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior political figure said the attack left him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
