Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they added.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack left him speechless and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
