Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.

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

Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.

The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.

Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.

These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human blood.

"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.

City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.

An important representative said the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.

"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of migrant background in 2020.
