Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack rendered him without words and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
