Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then found multiple other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking official stated the vandalism made him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
