Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state early analysis show the liquid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
