Area Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they stated in a release.
Police report they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.
A senior representative said the attack left him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter targeting individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
