Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations show the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking official commented the vandalism made him without words and needed to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in February 2020.
