Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important official commented the attack left him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
