Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure commented the attack rendered him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
