Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in five years prior.
