Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure said the attack made him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
