Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then located numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior official commented the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
