Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state early analysis indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior political figure stated the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be resolved promptly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter targeting residents of migrant background in five years prior.
