Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the substance was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking official said the attack made him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
