Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for details.
A senior representative said the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
