Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.

Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.

Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.

The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.

Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.

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

Police say early analysis show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.

"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.

Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for information.

A senior representative said the vandalism made him speechless and had to be solved promptly.

"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
