Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important official commented the attack made him without words and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
