Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the public for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the attack left him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in 2020.
