Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important political figure said the incident made him stunned and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
