Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state early analysis indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking official said the vandalism left him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
