Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
An important political figure said the vandalism left him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
