Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A senior political figure commented the attack made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
