Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism left him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
