Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Police say they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis indicate the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any injuries in association with the event," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior representative said the attack made him speechless and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
