Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for tips.
An important official said the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
