Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack made him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
