Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement report early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure stated the incident made him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
