Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.

Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.

Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.

The substance had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.

Police then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.

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

Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely blood from a person.

"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.

Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.

A senior political figure said the incident made him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.

"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
