Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure said the incident made him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
