Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials said they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism left him stunned and had to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
