Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.

Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.

Law enforcement report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.

The liquid had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.

Law enforcement then located many other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.

Swastikas are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.

Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for details.

An important representative commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be addressed rapidly.

"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
