Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official commented the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
