Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations show the substance was likely human blood.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior representative commented the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
