Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.

Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.

Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.

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

Officers then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.

Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.

Police state preliminary tests show the substance was likely human blood.

"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.

City officials said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.

A senior political figure said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be solved quickly.

"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
