Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
A senior official commented the incident rendered him stunned and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
