Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human blood in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior official stated the incident made him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
