Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important official commented the vandalism made him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on online, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
