Around fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in association with the event," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important political figure stated the vandalism left him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
