Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Police then located multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important political figure commented the incident rendered him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
