Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Police say early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking representative said the attack rendered him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This event affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
