Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.

Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.

Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.

The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.

Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the fluid was probably blood from a person.

"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.

City officials stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.

An important official stated the attack made him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.

"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
