Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
An important official commented the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
