Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis show the substance was most likely blood from a person.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
An important official stated the attack rendered him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
