Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Police then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were working "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative said the incident made him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
