Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found many other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior political figure commented the attack left him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a assailant aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
