Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior official said the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
