Local Police
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then found numerous other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
City officials said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the public for tips.
An important representative said the vandalism made him stunned and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
