Approximately 50 vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
An important representative stated the attack made him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
