Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative said the incident made him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
