Area Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to solve the case" and have asked to the public for details.
An important representative stated the incident left him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
