Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important representative commented the attack made him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
