Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis show the fluid was probably blood from a person.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior political figure commented the incident left him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
