Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the fluid was likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism left him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
