Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis show the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack left him stunned and had to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
