Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior official said the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
