Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered many other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the case" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A high-ranking official commented the incident made him without words and had to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on online, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman targeting individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
