Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
City officials said they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the incident rendered him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
