Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the incident left him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
