Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter targeting individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
