Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials say initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are presently not aware of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
City officials stated they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
An important political figure commented the vandalism rendered him without words and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of migrant background in 2020.
