Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Police report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
