Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
