Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior official stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
