Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking official said the attack left him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
