Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack left him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
