Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important official commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
