Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
