Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then discovered many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
