Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis show the substance was probably human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack rendered him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
