Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other smeared cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.
An important political figure stated the incident left him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
