Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.

Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.

The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.

Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.

Officials say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.

"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.

Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.

A high-ranking official said the attack made him without words and needed to be resolved promptly.

"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
