Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
