Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found multiple other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
A senior official stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in February 2020.
