Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; officials are not yet aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking official said the incident left him stunned and required to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
