Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior representative said the vandalism left him speechless and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
