Around 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior representative said the attack made him without words and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
