Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative commented the incident left him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
