Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for details.
An important political figure stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in five years prior.
