Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure commented the attack left him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
