Area Police
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for details.
An important political figure commented the incident left him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
