Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then located multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
An important political figure commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
