Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
An important political figure stated the incident made him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
