Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior representative commented the vandalism left him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
