Area Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior political figure said the incident left him speechless and had to be solved quickly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
