Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for information.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident left him stunned and needed to be solved promptly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
