Approximately fifty automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.

Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.

Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.

The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.

Officers then found numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.

Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human blood.

"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.

Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.

A high-ranking official stated the incident rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.

"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
