Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The liquid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other marked automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say early analysis indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to unravel the incident" and have appealed to the public for tips.
A senior political figure stated the incident made him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
