Local Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located multiple other marked cars and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Police report early analysis show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.
City officials stated they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior representative stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be solved quickly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
