Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important official commented the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
