Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
A senior official commented the vandalism left him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
