Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism made him without words and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
