Approximately fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important official said the vandalism left him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
