Local Police
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other marked vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials said they were trying "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and had to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting people of migrant background in five years prior.
