Around fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located many other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests show the substance was probably human blood.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
An important official commented the attack made him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
