Roughly fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.

Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.

Police say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.

The substance had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.

Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.

Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Police say early analysis show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.

"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.

Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for information.

An important political figure stated the vandalism made him stunned and had to be addressed quickly.

"This act hits the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
