Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior official commented the attack made him stunned and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in 2020.
