Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking official commented the vandalism made him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
