Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important representative stated the attack made him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
