Local Police
Roughly fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they reported.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important representative stated the attack made him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This incident strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
