Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for details.
A senior official commented the attack made him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
