Around fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important political figure commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
