Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident left him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
