Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative said the incident made him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
