Police stated they were contacted by a resident who noticed a vehicle in Hanau smeared with reddish substance

Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.

Police say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.

The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.

Law enforcement then discovered multiple other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Police state initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.

"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.

Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.

An important political figure said the attack left him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.

"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of migrant background in 2020.
