Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for information.
An important representative stated the incident rendered him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
