Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Police then located multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism left him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine victims by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
