Area Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior political figure commented the attack rendered him speechless and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
