Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important representative said the incident made him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
