Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior representative commented the attack rendered him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
