Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.

Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a statement.

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

The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.

Police then located numerous other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.

These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.

"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.

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

A high-ranking representative stated the incident made him stunned and needed to be resolved rapidly.

"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on online, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of migrant background in February 2020.
