Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
