Approximately fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Vehicles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.

Law enforcement state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.

The substance had been placed in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.

Police then located many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

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

Police say preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.

Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for information.

A high-ranking representative commented the attack left him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.

"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
