Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
