Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered many other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
