Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A senior representative said the attack rendered him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
