Area Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say early analysis show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior official commented the attack rendered him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
