Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Officers report they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other marked cars and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say early analysis show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking official stated the incident rendered him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine people by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
