Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior political figure commented the attack made him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
