Approximately fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking official commented the incident made him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
