Area Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Officers state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for information.
An important political figure stated the incident rendered him speechless and had to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a gunman targeting residents of foreign heritage in five years prior.
