Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the attack rendered him stunned and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
