Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking official said the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in five years prior.
