Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police state early analysis show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident left him without words and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of migrant background in February 2020.
