Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any harm in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
An important representative said the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
