Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure commented the incident made him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
