Roughly 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are currently not informed of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack made him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
