Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located multiple other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis indicate the substance was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official said the attack made him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
