Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
