Area Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday, when a man discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they reported.
Officers then located many other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; officials are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to solve the mystery" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior political figure said the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
