Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet aware of any harm in association with the event," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
An important official commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
