Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they added.
Police then discovered many other smeared cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the vandalism left him without words and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
