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

Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.

Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.

The substance had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.

Officers then located numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.

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

Law enforcement state early analysis show the fluid was most likely human blood.

"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.

Local authorities stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for details.

A high-ranking official stated the attack rendered him without words and required to be solved promptly.

"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
