Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure said the vandalism left him stunned and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in 2020.
