Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
