Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
An important official said the vandalism left him speechless and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in 2020.
