Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior representative commented the attack left him stunned and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
