Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
