Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Police then located multiple other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior official commented the attack made him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
