Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found multiple other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report early analysis suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism made him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
