Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
An important official stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
