Area Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Officers then found many other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for information.
An important representative commented the incident made him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
