Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were alerted late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for tips.
A high-ranking representative said the attack left him stunned and needed to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
