Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
