Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis show the fluid was most likely blood from a person.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
An important official said the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be resolved promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
