Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A senior political figure commented the attack rendered him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
