Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers say they were contacted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report preliminary tests show the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they stated.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking representative stated the incident made him stunned and needed to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the killing of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
