Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism left him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
