Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior political figure stated the attack made him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
