Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests show the substance was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important representative stated the incident made him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in 2020.
