Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say initial examinations show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important representative stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
