Local Police
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located many other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; authorities are not yet informed of any harm in relation with the event," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack made him without words and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
