Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.

Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.

Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.

The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.

Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.

Law enforcement report initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human blood.

"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.

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

A high-ranking political figure commented the incident made him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.

"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
