Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish substance.
The fluid had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then located many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for information.
An important political figure said the incident rendered him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This event affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
