Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior official said the vandalism left him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
