Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Police then found multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; officials are currently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure said the vandalism made him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in five years prior.
