Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were marked, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Law enforcement state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located many other vandalized cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior official commented the attack rendered him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and revives the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
