Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack rendered him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
