Local Police
Approximately 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other vandalized cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report initial examinations suggest the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its origin; investigators are not yet informed of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for details.
A high-ranking official said the vandalism made him speechless and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
