Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
An important political figure commented the incident rendered him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
