Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack left him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
