Local Law Enforcement

Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.

Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.

Officers say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.

The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.

Police then found many other marked automobiles and house walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Law enforcement report initial examinations indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.

"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.

Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for details.

A senior official commented the attack rendered him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.

"This event hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
