Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably human blood.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for details.
An important political figure said the incident made him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
