Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state early analysis indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking representative commented the incident left him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
