Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior political figure commented the incident rendered him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in 2020.
