Area Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for details.
A senior representative stated the attack rendered him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on online, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
