Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior political figure said the incident left him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
