Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the liquid was likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism made him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
