Roughly 50 cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then located many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
An important political figure stated the incident left him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
