Area Police
Roughly fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for tips.
An important political figure commented the incident made him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
