Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered many other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human blood.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
City officials stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
An important official stated the attack made him stunned and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
