Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior representative said the vandalism made him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
