Area Police
Around 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for information.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a assailant targeting residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
