Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
