Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found many other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior political figure commented the incident made him without words and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
