Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations show the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the public for details.
An important official stated the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
