Around 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
An important political figure commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
