Around 50 vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the liquid was probably blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism left him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
