Local Police
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state initial examinations indicate the fluid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the killing of nine people by a shooter aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
