Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then located numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the incident rendered him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
