Approximately fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely blood from a person.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important representative stated the attack made him without words and required to be addressed promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
