Local Police
Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any harm in relation with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior representative commented the incident made him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
