Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations show the fluid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him speechless and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
