Around 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important official said the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
