Area Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report initial examinations show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; authorities are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.
An important official commented the incident rendered him stunned and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
