Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered many other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
