Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report early analysis indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
An important official stated the incident left him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
