Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking official commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
