Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations show the liquid was likely blood from a person.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important official said the vandalism made him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
