Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely human blood.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
