Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack left him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of migrant background in February 2020.
