Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior representative said the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
