Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for details.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
