Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then found numerous other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior official commented the attack made him speechless and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the right-wing attack five years ago," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
