Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.

Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.

The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.

Officers then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.

Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.

A senior official stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be solved promptly.

"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
