Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other marked vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure said the vandalism left him speechless and had to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
