Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report early analysis show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
An important political figure stated the attack made him without words and needed to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in five years prior.
