Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important representative stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
