Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the substance was most likely human blood.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be solved quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
