Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.

Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.

The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.

Police then discovered numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.

Police state initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.

"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.

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

An important representative commented the vandalism left him speechless and had to be solved promptly.

"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
