Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then located many other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack left him without words and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in 2020.
