Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found many other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important representative stated the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
