Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official said the vandalism made him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in 2020.
