Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then found numerous other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
An important political figure stated the incident made him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
