Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior representative stated the attack made him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
