Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.

The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then found many other marked automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
