Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then found numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior official stated the vandalism left him speechless and required to be solved quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
