Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior representative said the attack made him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
