Officers reported they were contacted by a resident who found a vehicle in Hanau marked with reddish substance

Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.

Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.

Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.

The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they reported.

Law enforcement then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.

These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.

Police report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no clue as to its origin; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.

City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.

An important official stated the attack made him without words and needed to be resolved rapidly.

"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
