Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the attack left him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
