Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack left him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
