Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack made him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
