Area Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; authorities are not yet cognizant of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to unravel the case" and have requested to the community for tips.
A senior representative commented the vandalism left him speechless and had to be resolved promptly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack in 2020," he posted on online, referring to the death of nine people by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
