Roughly 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
