Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police state initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the incident made him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine people by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
