Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident made him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in five years prior.
