Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior official stated the vandalism left him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of migrant background in 2020.
