Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located many other smeared automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior political figure commented the attack made him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
