Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
An important political figure said the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
