Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other marked cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the public for information.
An important official stated the vandalism made him without words and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
