Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found many other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important representative said the incident left him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
