Local Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Police then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the event," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.
A high-ranking official said the vandalism rendered him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
