Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests show the substance was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
