Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests show the substance was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
