Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered many other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
City officials said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior official commented the attack left him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
