Around fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior official commented the attack rendered him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
