Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement state they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are not yet aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack rendered him without words and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in five years prior.
