Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered many other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state initial examinations show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
