Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important official stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
