Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for information.
An important political figure said the incident rendered him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
