Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack made him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
