Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
An important political figure stated the attack rendered him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
