Approximately fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then located many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior official commented the attack left him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
