Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other smeared cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior representative said the attack rendered him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
