Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis show the substance was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important representative said the incident left him speechless and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
