Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior political figure stated the incident left him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
