Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack made him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
