Roughly 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for details.
An important political figure said the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in 2020.
