Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located many other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior representative commented the attack made him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
