Area Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then located many other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police report preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the residents for information.
A high-ranking official said the incident made him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
