Roughly 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure stated the incident made him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
