Approximately 50 vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior official commented the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
