Around fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important political figure said the incident left him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
