Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
A high-ranking official stated the incident left him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on people of immigrant origin in 2020.
