Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Police then found multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report initial examinations show the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for details.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack made him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
