Roughly 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations indicate the liquid was probably human blood.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important official said the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
