Around 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then located multiple other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
