Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
An important representative commented the attack made him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
