Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any injuries in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior political figure stated the attack left him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
