Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Police then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
