Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the fluid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior official stated the vandalism left him without words and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
