Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
An important official stated the incident made him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
