Authorities mentioned they were notified by a resident who noticed a automobile in Hanau marked with reddish fluid

Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.

Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.

Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.

The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.

Police then located numerous other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.

Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.

Police say early analysis indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.

"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they added.

City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.

An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be solved promptly.

"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
