Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
