Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the event," they stated.
Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism made him speechless and needed to be resolved promptly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the murder of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
