Local Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior representative commented the attack made him without words and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
