Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure commented the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in 2020.
