Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found numerous other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis show the liquid was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior political figure said the incident made him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
