Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior political figure commented the attack rendered him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
