Roughly 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior political figure commented the attack left him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
