Around 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.

Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.

Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.

The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.

Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.

These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.

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

"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.

City officials stated they were working "to solve the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.

An important representative stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and needed to be solved rapidly.

"This event affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
