Approximately 50 vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.

Cars, walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.

Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.

The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.

Officers then found many other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.

Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Officials report initial examinations show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.

Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.

An important representative stated the attack made him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.

"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
